First Lord of the Rings reading experience:

I found my dad's old boxed set of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings in the attic. It took me two days to read the Hobbit and I was completely captivated. I read on into The Lord of the Rings immediately after, learning more and more about the history before the legend from a schoolmate. I had no choice but to read the Silmarillion next. I haven't stopped looking for more Middle-earth and rereading the books I love. Tolkien's mythology is the greatest work of fiction ever created.

Favorite Tolkien character:

I'm partial to Turin Turambar and his tragic story. Of the members of the fellowship, Gimli is my favorite just as Dwarves are my favorite race. Sam is my favorite Hobbit. As far as Elves, Feanor tops my list. Aule is my favorite Vala and Gandalf my favorite wizard.
